Explain
1. What caused all the bright flashes of light?
2. What caused all the horizontal and rapid explosions so far
below the collapsing levels? (and please don't say it was
due to air pressure, because these look like focused point
source explosions, and this cannot possibly be caused by
built up air pressure, since this is not an "air tight" leak-proof
sealed environment, due to all the cracked ceilings and
damaged upper floors) - don't tell me you can inflate & pop
a balloon if the balloon has lots of leaks and holes in it!
3. What caused all the molten metal dripping out of the South
Tower? Melting point of steel = 1532 C, but the hottest
temperature that a jet fuel (kerosene) fire can reach, burning
in still or stationary air (not moving air) is only 250 C. And
don't say this is molten aluminium ( melts at 600 C).
Why do steel or Al frying pans not melt?

Here's another interesting video about Building 7, a 47-storey steel building that collapsed about 7 hours after the Twin Towers on 9/11, and it was not even hit by any plane!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ9BofDUXv0
Can you please explain how a few small fires could completely level an entire steel building right down to the ground?

Watch this video too: showing evidence
of molten metal being created on 9/11, remaining red hot for up to 6 weeks after, at ground zero.

One more thing... paper can also be a hydrocarbon fuel to feed the fires. Paper combusts at Fahrenheit 451 F = 233 C. Paper fires and kerosene air fires rarely exceed 250 C in still air, even in a gentle breeze, due to low availability of oxygen in 101.3 kPa open air pressure. The temperature of a fire depends on the "reaction rate" - or equal availability of hydrogen (fromt the fuel) AND available oxygen.
Try this yourself. Start an open air jet fuel fire (or burn kerosene in a steel tray), and measure the temperature of the flame with a pyrometer. You should get temperatures under 250 C. TRUE!
Now try to melt some aluminium foil in the fire you made and try to get liquid aluminium. Next, try to get liquid steel in that same fire. Don't believe me, just try it for yourself ! Air fire does not even weaken steel by any significant amount, because steel only starts weakening over 300 C, and is still at half full strength at 600 - 650 C, the melting point of aluminium.

You CANNOT get focused explosions
shooting out of a building, due to a build
up of air pressure, if there are GIGANTIC
GAPING HOLES IN ALL THE CEILINGS
AND COLLAPSING FLOORS ABOVE!
There is NO WAY you can build up large
air pressures simply because all the
upper walls and ceilings and floors have
GIANT gaping holes and cracks all over
them, especially knowing that all the
walls had all popped out... How on Earth
can you trap air under such conditions,
to cause windows 10-20 floors down to
pop out??? This is ridiculous!
I asked for INTELLIGENT sensible
answers... not wishful thinking...
Also, nobody has yet addressed all the
molten metal found in all the basements
of WTC 1, 2 and 7, which stayed red hot
for over 6 weeks after 9/11. Where did
all the molten metal come from? When
aluminium melts, it is silvery / grey in
colour, not yellow or bright orange, like
the molten steel seen dripping out of the
South Tower. Orange, yellow hot means
over 800 C

1. NIST said there was glowing silvery material coming from the collapsing towers which was molten aluminum. See http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/factsheets/faqs_8_2006.htm
2. As to possible explosions, this was addressed by NIST. "When you have a significant portion of a floor collapsing, it's going to shoot air and concrete dust out the window," NIST lead investigator Shyam Sunder tells PM. Those clouds of dust may create the impression of a controlled demolition, Sunder adds, "but it is the floor pancaking that leads to that perception." (Pop Mech website). There are no published articles or official websites that says there were explosions or flashes of light.
3. It’s easy to think that explosions have occurred during a heart-stopping collapse of a gigantic building. However, Columbia University has permanent seismographic recorders that were running on 9/11 which clearly show no explosives during the collapse of Towers 1 & 2, or of WTC7 . See page 2 of
http://www.implosionworld.com/Article-WTC%20STUDY%208-06%20w%20clarif%20as%20of%209-8-06%20.pdf
4. The cause of the collapse was not "small fires." The towers mainly collapsed due to a large number of supports being knocked out by the jets. The remaining supports had to bear the weight, but they were weakened by the fire allowing them to bend. This pulled in the outside columns (& this can be seen in photos) until they snapped. See
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/wtc/
I will also add the following, from NIST, explaining the structural damage:
"About 60% of the 60 columns of the impacted face of framed-tube were severed, and many more were significantly deflected. This caused stress redistribution, which significantly increased the load of some columns, near the load capacity for some of them." (from NIST)
(Also, unfortunately, the fire-proofing was "blown-on" & thus "blew off" when the jets hit)
I hope this helps...
*******************************************
I think your additional questions about the air are good & I'll try to answer them as best I can.
Experts in demolition say air can puff out as it did without explosions. They have seen it do so innumerable times, and they have stated so in published literature. See #3. in
http://www.implosionworld.com/Article-WTC%20STUDY%208-06%20w%20clarif%20as%20of%209-8-06%20.pdf
Loizeaux, of Controlled Demolition (which holds world records in demolition) says demolition charges would have produced a far bigger effect than a “puff.” (p.46) . Four executives of world-renowned demolition companies that did NOT participate in the FEMA or NIST studies confirm that the dust was not consistent with demolition charges (Pop Mech, “Debunking 9/11” page 45)
Your belief that air cannot burst out of a collapsing building, no matter how you reason it, is just a hypothesis. The test of hypothesis is reality, and the experts say that’s what happens (air blows out). They have said it sometimes blasts out the chimneys, etc. Science is experiments, seeing what happens. It is not “reasoning,” especially by laypeople.
Somebody “proved” (before the 1st flight) that an airplane can’t fly but the real test is what happens. Even the Theory of Relativity, so beautifully reasoned it has to be true, was rigorously tested by observation & experiment before it was accepted.
These people have seen air come out that way hundreds of time. So that’s the answer. You can’t say it’s impossible if that’s what they saw.
I hope this helps.

Look. When ever pressure builds up in a space, that pressure can be relieved through the small holes and leaks around it. However, that pressure must be relieved at the same rate it is being generated. In the instance of the world trade center, the fact that it is not air tight does not mean it was intentionally imploded. You can take a non air tight vessel and pump enough air or vapor into it at a high enough rate causing it to explode. That is what happened to the world trade center. The pressure on the lower floors could not be relieved fast enough to stop the windows from blowing out. A window can only take about about 1 psig before it blows. Before you discredit me pressure relief is my business. If a safety valve on a tank is not the correct size, the rite condition can cause it to blow up even if the valve is full open.
Here is another trick that will prove your theory is full of holes. If you take a soda can and add a little water in the bottom, then boil it the water will vaporize. Take the can and drop it upside down into a pan of cold water. The can will implode. Yes, even with the big hole in the top. That is because the pressure in the can decreased faster than the water could enter the hole to relieve the vacuum.

The flashes of light were possibly a gun going off, or a small explosion.
Now, When it went down, the floors it got hit on, the heat was so intense the floors sunk down until it collapsed because of the heat. The structure apparently was nice and well built, but nobody expected what was going to happen then.
Probably because the material mad in frying pans is probably not like the material Americans are going to make buildings out of. Frying pans don't take that much anyway. If they took that much heat, they'd melt in an instant...

Whether or not the answer is what I believe you are getting at is irrelevant at this point, in my opinion. What is relevant though is the fact that people died on that day, and dwelling on how it happens over-shadows the fact of the great loss of life on that day. I'm not saying that your points are not valid, if not correct. What I am saying is that no matter how it happened, it was pure evil, and that should be the focal point of that day. In my opinion.

a million) sure. It did various issues, which includes formalizing the relationship between Jesus and God the father in "authorized" Christianity. previous that, i pass to % a splash preparation. 2) i'm sorry, honey, i'm no longer likely to look all those up. I usually look at soi disant contradictions interior the Bible. maximum ordinarily, they seem to be a consequence of misreading the text textile, c.f. the two deaths of Saul, how a lot of human beings went to Christ's tomb, etc. %. one on your laundry checklist which you think of is maximum probable to stand up below scrutiny and that i will take a seem at it. 3) I prevalent Christ whilst i became 25.

It got here approximately to me then that I hadn't given the question of God as a lot concept as i could placed right into a evidence or a physics subject, so i desperate to study it. I spend the subsequent a number of months discovering religions - Buddhism, Shintoism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity, etc. I additionally examine Christian apologists, generally C.S. Lewis and Josh McDowell. For counterbalance, I examine Dawkins and Russell's "Why i'm no longer A Christian". I additionally made it a component to envision the Bible and pray each and daily, something alongside the strains of "i do no longer understand in case you're there, in case you're there i do no longer understand in case you're listening, in case you're listening i do no longer understand in case you care, yet right here i'm: teach me". I won't pass into info, as most of the non-non secular right here look to experience that's "shoving my Christianity down their throat" for some reason, yet after approximately six months I prevalent Christ. 4) severe high quality shape, astonishing paintings. What did you have in innovations?

What the heck do you mean by "No airplane found at the Pentagon"? Yeah, maybe not in one piece (you have to remember, it DID crash into a building), but there was very recognizable debris around the site of impact.
And in regards to the question:

The biggest thing is the Pentagon: no plane found.
The government, for whatever reason they are covering things up, wants us to forget the holes in the puzzle, just like we forgot about the anthrax packages. Did they find who did it? Are they still looking? Nope.
